Diamond Certificates
Diamond grading reports or certificates from reputable
gemological laboratories date back to the middle of the 20th
century and they have become an enormous important part of the
modern diamond trade.
Gemological laboratories grade hundreds of
thousands of diamonds a year that much repetition makes grading
on the reports highly reliable and consistent, another factor
that contributes to the accuracy of the grades is that, at most
labs, several graders examine each diamond.
Diamond certificates,
are becoming more and more common especially with stones over
1.00 carat or of a certain colour.
A customer feels more safe and confident when
the diamond is about to purchase comes with a certificate or
report from a reliable gem Lab. The stones also costs more both
because of the value the Laboratory holds and because it costs
money for the certification itself.
In Europe 2 reputable diamond labs are HRD
and IGI.
World Wide the most trusted lab is GIA. This
is because they are the most consistent, they r ahead of any
other lab in research, and after all they came up with the
grading systems we all use today!
